CASE NAME: ALLANSON-SELVIDGE CARLSBAD RESIDENCE
CASE NO: CDP 2018-0038 (DEV2018-0103)
WHEREAS, Thomas Allanson and Paula Selvidge, "Developer/Owner," has filed a verified
application with the City of Carlsbad described as
Lot 50 of Terramar Unit No. 1, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San
Diego, State of California, according to the map thereof no. 2696 filed
in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, September 6,
1950
("the Property"); and
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Coastal Development Permit as
shown on Exhibit(s) "A" -"Q" dated March 20, 2019, attached hereto and on file in the Carlsbad Planning
Division, CDP 2018-0038 -ALLANSON-SLEVIDGE CARLSBAD RESIDENCE, as provided in Chapter
21.201.030 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on March 20, 2019, hold a duly noticed public hearing
as prescribed by law to consider said request;
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if
any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Coastal
Development Permit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad,
as follows:
A) That the above recitations are true and correct.
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES
CDP 2018-0038 (DEV2018-0103) -ALLANSON-SELVIDGE CARLSBAD RESIDENCE, based
on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and
all applicable policies in that the site is designated for residential development and the project
proposes single-family residential development; the development is consistent with the LCP
Mello II Land Use designation of R-4 Residential; no agricultural activities, sensitive resources,
geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exist on-site; and given the
project's distance from the coastline, the two-story single-family residence will not obstruct
views of the coastline as seen from public lands or public right-of-way nor otherwise damage
the visual beauty of the coastal zone as further discussed in the project staff report.
2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the coastal shore; therefore, it will
not interfere with the public's right to physical access or water-oriented recreational activities.
3. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
(Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the city's Master
Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and
Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants,
and soil erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property and
the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion,
floods, or liquefaction.
4. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with
the Elements of the city's General Plan, in that the General Plan Land Use designation for the
property is R-4 Residential. The R-4 designation allows for residential development at a density
range of Oto 4 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) with a Growth Management Control Point (GMCP)
of 3.2 du/ac. The project site has a net developable acreage of 0.15 acres; at the 3.2 GMCP, 0.4
dwelling units are allowed. Although the project's proposed density of 6.6 du/ac exceeds the
R-4 density range of Oto 4 du/ac, one single-family dwelling unit is guaranteed pursuant to the
following General Plan Land Use provision: "Notwithstanding the density provisions and intent
of each residential land use designation, a one-family dwelling shall be permitted on any legal
lot that existed as of October 28, 2004." The subject lot was legally created prior to October 28,
2004; therefore, the development of the subject lot with one single-family home is consistent
with the R-4 General Plan Land Use designation.
5. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities
Management Plan for Zone 3 and all city public facility policies and ordinances. The project
includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that all
facilities and improvements regarding sewer collection and treatment, water, drainage,
circulation, fire, schools, parks and other recreational facilities, libraries, government
administrative facilities, and open space, related to the project will be installed to serve new
development prior to or concurrent with need. Specifically,
A. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified School
District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
B. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be collected
prior to the issuance of building permit.
PC RESO NO. 7323 -2-
C. The Local Facilities Management fee for Zone 3 is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code
Section 21.90.050 and will be collected prior to issuance of building permit.
6. That the city planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State
Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is
therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15303(a), construction of one single-family residence in a
residential zone, of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the city planner has
found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to
this project.
7. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to
mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree
of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
